CWE-ID: CWE-125 - Out-of-bounds read

The vulnerability allows a local user to disclose sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to an out-of-bounds read in r5c_recovery_analyze_meta_block() and r5l_recovery_verify_data_checksum_for_mb() when processing corrupted journal metadata blocks. A local user can provide a corrupted journal with payload size fields that extend beyond the metadata block boundary to disclose sensitive information.
Remediation
Install update from vendor's website.
